Crossing Strings

ClassicalFingerstyle Guitar Duo

Crossing Strings' debut album "Intersections" propels the crossover guitar duo directly to the forefront of the European fingerpicking scene.

It is an in Austrian based guitar duo that, at first glance, couldn't be more different, a duo in which two seemingly entirely different worlds collide. Comprising Carina Maria Linder, who dedicated herself to classical guitar at the tender age of 8 and achieved remarkable success in various international guitar competitions within classical guitar duos, and Markus Schlesinger, the internationally touring fingerstyle guitarist and founder of the Vienna Fingerstyle Festival. Markus complements this duo with his sophisticated original compositions and groovy arrangements of well-known songs.

The program of these two professionals in their respective fields is a diverse mix of original compositions, self-arranged classical, jazzy, and pop evergreens, featuring two voices that enhance it with both impulsive intensity and playful lightness.

By bridging the gap between two seemingly contrasting worlds, this duo indulges in a multifaceted symbiosis of classical music, jazz, and popular music, taking the audience to completely new and unfamiliar musical realms.

The crossover duo is touring with their latest album "Intersections" in Austria, Germany, Hungary, and Switzerland, and also offers guitar workshops in Sydney, Coffs Harbour, Lismore, Gleniffer and Canberra.

"Carina Maria Linder, although rooted in classical and chamber music, steps out of her genre to play/sing folk or blues with great empathy and virtuosity.“
